...President boasts of record National Incomes, but fails to indicate that National Income is not necessarily, per se, an indication of prosperity. Examine a year in the midst of the Eisenhower reign, 1954, a year for which there are statistics available and one which hindsight can interpret. In 1954, in the midst of Republican "prosperity," the country produced the all-time record national debt of 275 billion dollars, greater than any during the Second World War. Although the debt is necessary, an abnormally high debt behind great government spending is no base for the national economy. Frantic hacking...
...Fourteen respectful eyes widened abruptly. Then Knowland's face lighted up. Said he, harking back to Press Secretary Jim Hagerty's grinning hint (TIME, July 16) that Ike was once again in a political frame of mind: "That's much better, than trying to interpret Jim Hagerty's smile."

If, in the light of hindsight, I had to do it all over again, I probably would decide not to write and speak about Fascism as I did. I would...
...March 17 blizzard was due to its complete lack of reports on Atlantic air conditions, according to Charles F. Brooks '12, professor of Meteorology and director of the Blue Hill Observatory. The University meteorologist cited "the lack of upper air reports and inadequate knowledge as to how to interpret them," as a major source of difficulty...
